Anxiety & Depression Treatment Study

Treatment Study for Anxiety and depression

Do you or someone you know often feel stressed, anxious, or depressed?

The Treatment for Anxiety and Depression (TAD) study is designed to examine which individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress are more likely to benefit from two different versions of therapy. Each of these therapies include components and therapeutic strategies that have been demonstrated to be effective for these problem areas. One therapy focuses on enhancing and increasing positive coping and life strategies, whereas the other therapy focuses on decreasing or eradicating negative coping and life strategies. Both versions involve examining thoughts, modifying behaviors, and focusing on breathing. Both treatment have shown to be highly effective for reducing stress, anxiety, or depression.
